• ☐ Add siblings Maud Hathaway Trask (1878-1941) and Guy Ross Hathaway (1883-1961) to tree for completeness
• ☐ Verify FamilySearch PID LC11-MNC for father — confirm full given name (John Adams vs John Quincy Adams)
• ☐ Note interesting family connection: great-great-aunt Adelaide Hathaway married John Otis Hale (brother of Orissa Jane Hale)
